On occasion I enjoy what I call a monk's meal. It's as simple as it sounds, but can be a nice repast during a long week, or just because the desire strikes. All of these things can be found at most supermarkets and the price depends on their selection and your taste. The staples for my meals are bread, cheese, and Belgian beer. I prefer rosemary bread, aged gouda cheese, and one of the Chimay beers. A foundation like this is perfect for adding fruit or some kind of meat and can be enjoyed over an evening (raspberries...). Take some time and enjoy!
Making cheese, bread, and beer are all very doable things in your own kitchen (as you already know) and could be an event if you were to time all three to be ready around the same time. Beer requires the most investment to make a palatable product. Cheese requires a couple special ingredients, but is still relatively simple. You may want to check out a home brewing or winemaking shop in search of the cheese making ingredients. Look up recipes for interesting and simple breads as you probably have most of the ingredients already. Have fun with it.
